Get a chrome style tint, it can be really light, people won't be able to see in and when someone goes up close to try to check for tint it won't really look like it is there. Mine absorbs VERY little light (50%? I don't know, it's next to nothing), but when the light is right, you can't see inside. Here's a picture as an exmaple.
Look closely, when trying to look into the tinted window you can not see through, yet, when you look through the windshield, you can see straight through the passenger side window to that 94 GT behind my car.

RE: got the GT shined up, and took some pics...
This is just half mirror or whatever... It's called chrome tint, from the inside it looks like normal tint, unless it's very bright out, and very not inside the car, the tint will look like it does in that picture (reflective). Not sure if I'll be lowering the GT... it's for sale at the moment [&:]
I don't know what percent it is, like I said it's REALLY light. I was at the tint shop while FastLane034 here on the forums was getting his done (in 17%, same chrome style tint as mine). It is much lighter than the 35% I saw there at the shop. It's subtle but just enough so that you can't see in the car when the angle is right. FastLane's is tough to see through from the outside period. I haven't seen it from the inside yet.
Edit: I'd suggest 35% or 17% in this style, looks great on a black car.
Edit 2: If you click the one year video in my sig, about mid way through the video is another good shot of the window, so you can get an idea of how the tint looks.

nice car.
in regards to window tint. ALL states have a certain percentage that is LEGAL.
check this out and shoose your state to see what's allowable by law.

Still double check with your local authorities to verify.

RE: got the GT shined up, and took some pics...
I love the car, it reminds me of my car when I first got it. I had those same rims, they're the best stock ones imo. But 03 cobras look much better.
